NYC LIFE

So I'm really ashamed that I haven't blogged in almost two weeks, however, I have been having the best time in New York and then when i got bad my Mac charger had broken (bye bye £65 for a new one)!

I've been back from NYC now for 5 days and I'm seriously depressed, it really is such a magical city and even though this is my third visit, there was still so much to see. For this blog post I really want to give an overview of all the things I did whilst I was out there, so there won't be much beauty but I do have some haul posts planned from MAC and Sephora.

I flew out to New York to visit one of my friends who is interning out there for an events company (dream!!), so it was really nice to catch up with her and explore the city together! She was staying on the upper east side (very Gossip Girl) near Central Park and it was such a good location!

On the thursday when I arrived I quickly got changed and we headed down to Times square on the subway, the atmosphere whilst your there really is mad. There is so many different types of people walking round and so much to look at, for dinner we decided on Bubba Gump which do the most amazing fried shrimp! After that we explored Times Square and headed into Sephora and MAC where I had to resist and not to spend all my money at once, you'll see in my haul posts what I picked up!

On the next day my friend was working, so I headed down to to near where she works by the Flat Iron building on Fifth Avenue for some shopping. She also took me to one of the most amazing shops, it was a budget beauty store call Harmon with some amazing brands at a fraction of the price! They had EOS lip balms and less the $3 so of course I had to pick up 10 of them! In the evening we headed to this amazing restaurant called Dallas BBQ, which was really cheap and did the most delicious BBQ food and we even got free cupcakes at the end!

Saturday and Sunday were definitely the days with the best weather and when I did some serious shopping! Saturday morning we headed to a cute diner called EJ's for a proper American breakfast of french toast - the portions in the US are so big, I don't think I ever finished a meal! After that we headed to Bloomingdales where I picked up some presents for my family and also some other bits from Sephora. In the afternoon we decided to get cupcakes and sit in the park and then had a browse round Fifth Avenue and the legendary toy shop, FAO Schwarz. For dinner we had some famous NY pizza and when they say New Yorkers make the best pizza they weren't wrong!

On sunday we headed down to Macy's in the morning as this was the only place that sold the Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit that I just had to have! We made the mistake of not realising that it would open until late on sunday so sat in the sunshine at Herald Square and even got a selfie with a NY Cop! After i'd done some last minute shopping we headed downtown to Ground Zero as on my previous trips it wasn't open. Being there was such a surreal feeling and one I really can't describe, but the pools are such a touching tribute to all of those who lost their lives. After that we made out way back uptown and called in the Dash store on the way on Spring St secretly in the hope I would see one of the Kardashian girls there (no such luck)! In the evening we headed into Central Park again, after having some lovely frozen yoghurt, as ended up walking to a roller disco in the middle of the park - if only I could skate!

With my last day being monday I wanted to pick up some last minute shopping bits and then pack and get ready for my long night flight back to the UK. I headed back to Harmon as I couldn't resist the cheap beauty products and ended up picking up some more EOS lip balm, on the way back to the accommodation I picked up some American treats (I'm contemplating on a blog post about the American candy I picked up, what do you think?!).

Now that I'm back in the UK and thinking about everything I got up to in the City that never sleeps its making me so much more depressed about being back! I will definitely going back to New York in the future and hope its sooner rather than later!

I hope you all enjoyed reading about my time in New York and come back to read about my make up hauls form MAC and Sephora!

Your trips sounds amazing! I have been to NYC once before but am DYING to go back <3 It is such a magical city and nothing really compares :) Cannot wait for your New York haul as well! :D I have never heard of Harmon before but I MUST pay a visit there the next time I am in the city! xx
